Just like almost every one of you. I too was quite anticipating until I got my hand on this new game. Actually, I was quite disappointed when my sims visit a bar/lounge where it is called "Hotspot of the day", but with no even single other sims in the lot. Besides, the operation hour is just too short. Mostly the clubs/lounges/bars are closed at either 2/3/4am. I am so furious when my sims are kicked out of the lot when they are just about to enjoy their night out.
There is a guy whose name is Neverent has come out slight modification to the game so that it will "fool" your computer into giving your club fulls!
The steps are really simple and safe if you follow the instructions below really carefully.
1)Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts
2) Right click the Sims 3 Late Night folder in there.
3) Click properties.
3) Click properties.
4) Uncheck the "read only" option. Then click Okay.
5) A pop up box prompting you to make that folder writable or every file in the folder. We want everything in the folder to be writable. Click OK.
6) Click Ok again when the message saying you need the administrator rights to do anything with the file.
7) Then go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 Late Night\Game\Bin.
8) Open up a file called "GraphicsRules.sgr" by using Notepad.
9) Click CTRL + A to select all the scripts in the notepad. Click CTRL + C (or right clicking your mouse) and copy the text.
10) Go to desktop and right clicking. Choose "Text Document".
11) Paste (CTRL+V) the text into this new text document.
12) Save the file name as "GraphicsRules.sgr" same as the one in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 Late Night\Game\Bin.
13) Look for the follwing section of code ( it's almost at the top)
seti cpuLevelUber 4
seti cpuLevelHigh 3seti cpuLevelMedium 2
seti cpuLevelLow 1
change the number at the end of those 4 sentences into something like this
seti cpuLevelUber 4
seti cpuLevelHigh 4
seti cpuLevelMedium 4
seti cpuLevelLow 4
seti cpuLevelHigh 4
seti cpuLevelMedium 4
seti cpuLevelLow 4
14) Save your file which is in the desktop.
15) Go back to the folder from which you copied the "GraphicsRules.sgr" file just now.
16) Cut this file out and paste it into another folder you like except your desktop. This is done as a "back up" measurement.
17) Cut the file "GraphicsRules.sgr" on your desktop which you just changed the numbers into all 4.
18) Paste it into the folder that you just cut the original "GraphicsRules.sgr" from.
19) You are done! test the game.
20) Check your newspaper to find out which is the hotspot and enjoy you outing seeing a crowd of sims in the same clubs!
21) If something went wrong ( I BEAR NO RESPONSIBILITIES of this), just replace the "GraphicsRules.sgr" in your game folder with your original file.
Hehe. To get rid the problem of the operation time, you may consider putting this mod into you game.
Read the mod description to download the ONE (just one) option you think best suits you.
And Happy Simming!
This place contains almost 14 sims!
About 10 sims in this place too!
